Current Exhibition:
'M a s t e r S h i f t e r' an exciting new exhibition of artwork based on the artist collective’s research into the historical traditions of Durham, with a focus on the surrounding social, ceremonial and artistic vestiges of its industrial heritage.
The exhibition includes work which takes inspiration from mining banners, the Durham Miners’ Gala and mining machines and offers a contemporary take on the legacy of Durham as a centre for the coal mining industry.
